FF20 CT
Compact high-resolution micro-CT system for X-ray microscopy of very small parts, using a 190 kV nano-focus transmission tube on a granite-based manipulator.
About the FF20 CT
The FF20 CT is the smallest system in Comet Yxlon's FF series of laboratory CT systems. It is built for X-ray microscopy (XRM) and micro-CT of very fine parts and internal structures — semiconductor packages, MEMS, SMD components, battery cells, injection-moulded plastics, additively manufactured parts and geological or biological specimens.
Its 190 kV nano-focus transmission tube gives comparatively high energy for a micro-CT, so denser small objects can still be penetrated. Comet Yxlon states a 2D (radioscopy) detail visibility down to 150 nm; this is a detail-detectability figure in 2D, not a 3D voxel size or a measurement accuracy. The water-cooled target and coils stabilise the focal spot, and four tube modes trade focal-spot size against power.
A granite base with active air damping provides thermal and mechanical stability. Operation runs through the Geminy user interface, which offers the CT trajectories of the Comet Yxlon Software Suite such as HeliExtend helical CT, ScanExtend field-of-view extension, FlexCenter virtual rotation axis and LayerScan computed laminography (availability depends on the software package ordered).

Frequently asked questions
Is 150 nm the voxel size of the FF20 CT?
No. Comet Yxlon quotes 150 nm as the 2D detail visibility of the 190 kV transmission tube in radioscopy. Achievable 3D voxel size and measurement uncertainty depend on sample size, magnification and set-up and are defined during the application study.
What size of parts suits the FF20 CT?
It accepts samples up to 380 mm diameter, 700 mm height and 17 kg, but its strength is very small parts and fine internal structures. Larger or denser parts are usually better served by the FF35 CT or FF85 CT.
